Thank you Sam for the response.
I happened to own the original Antal around the time you first reviewed them in around 99 or so.
At the time I also had a pair of Vandersteen 2 sigs - there was a stark difference between how the two imaged I'll tell you that much - the Antals were like 3 D whereas the Vandersteen just did their thing. Everything sounded "nice" through the Vandersteen's which had a real "creamy" tweeter.
The Antals on the other hand were exciting to listen to with the 3D spatial effects.
When the recording was "on" it was hi fi heaven - when it wasn't it was "let's lower this a bit".
I will never forget the imaging the Antals could perform - it was truly an engaging experience - if it only wasn't for that tweeter ....
If the Antal Espirt EZ has refined their tweeter, than this will have to be a must audition for me.
Thanks
Mike
